Those IT Solution Providers and Managed Service Providers (MSP’s) who have embraced Social Media know it can be a valuable way to have conversations with prospective clients, but a common challenge for MSP’s is making the time to consistently maintain their Social Media presence and grow their following. Here are the slides from a webinar I presented in association with Autotask (www.autotask.com) on 11th April, 2013.

9. Blogging for Business
• Blogging gives your business a voice
• Attract like minded people
• Builds trust in you
• Blogging is free!
• It doesn't matter if nobody reads!
• If you're good at it, people will read.
• If you're no good at it, you'll get good at it.
